Description

Kew Gardens & Palace Tickets
Kew Gardens is London’s largest UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous gardens in the World!

With lots to see and do for visitors of all ages, it’s a perfect day out for the whole family.

Wander along the Gardens’ towering tree-top walkway or stroll through the 326-acres of land, where you’ll find plenty of peaceful spots to enjoy a picnic or just relax!

Even if the weather is less than perfect there’s still plenty to explore, with 3 stunning galleries dedicated to botanical art, plus a variety of glasshouses and other indoor attractions.

Delve into a tropical rainforest in the Palm house, be amazed by the giant lily pads in the waterlily house and travel through 10 climate zones in the Princess of Wales Conservatory. Don’t miss the Bonsai House and secluded Garden Glasshouse.

Kew gardens is also home to Queen Charlotte’s Cottage – the royal family’s beloved rustic retreat and the place where many intimate family picnics took place.

The Hive
Did you know 70 out of 100 crops that provide 90% of the world’s food are pollinated by bees?

Soaring 17 metres in the air and adorned with hundreds of glowing LED lights, the award-winning installation The Hive is now open at Kew Gardens.

The sound and light intensity within The Hive is triggered through vibration sensors inside a real beehive, and you can hear the live activity of worker bees going about their business, so every visit to The Hive is different!

This 40-tonne lattice structure creates an incredible multi-sensory experience of what it’s like to be inside a real bee hive, and explores the vital role of bees in feeding our planet.

Entry to The Hive is included with your admission ticket.

Kew Palace
Kew Palace is currently closed for the winter season and will re-open between 29 March – 30 September 2018

Our Kew Gardens tickets also include FREE entry to Kew Palace.

This intimate and beautiful 400-year-old royal retreat is perhaps best known as the place where King George III was shut away during his well-documented periods of ‘madness’.
